Burnley (3rd rd FA Cup) Post Match thread

Wasn’t at the game, could only follow it briefly on mobile. Saw we were 1 down at HT, looked at the match thread and bbc. Not playing well and I kind of resigned myself to us going out. Tiredness, some injuries, some loss of individual form, ‘Old City’ syndrome and all that where we would put in a lethargic display every 2 or 3 games, facing a tough team who have proven they can get results away from home.

How wrong I was. This team is different. They are machines and I love how every senior player in th3 squad is making a significant contribution.

Just let the current run sink in. I think we are pretty much at elite level now. Like Barca and Bayern were when Pep managed them. I Think this may be a historic season for us.

No rumours anymore a fee agreed and he is off and his " injury" will suddenly disappear.

Was watching Pinocchio’s reaction on SSN earlier. Coming to terms with the fact that Liverpool are now a selling club - selling teams will know that they have the money now and will charge accordingly. It’s a lot of money it depends if their owners reinvest.

The goal celebrations look great in the South Stand when the away fans are nowhere to be seen. It would be good if City could move the away fans permanently.
 
Dyche is a young Allardyce, if he is the future of English coaching then I give up . No top club would entertain football like that
 
Gundogan is really starting to irritate me, he was bordering on appalling today until that wonderful piece of individual magic.

That's the issue. He isn't good enough to be our regular number ten, though, even with his keen eye for a a pass.

And he sure as damn it doesn't do enough in the rest of the midfield. He doesn't get involved enough and was lucky that both Dave and Fernandinho did his donkey work for him today.

Again, Sane falls into the same category. We don't stretch the pitch nearly as well when he's not play, but he's been stealing a place in this team for weeks, only in my opinion.

He is starting to give the attitude he already thinks he has made it, not willing to so the basics and tracking back?

Imagine how good this kid can be when he matures.
 
Magic of the cup. Get in.....

That said, Dyche is a clueless prick.

"The referee said he did not need to blow the whistle. The law and common sense view of refereeing is what is important at that moment. Our player is three or four yards away from the referee gesticulating if he is going to blow the whistle and at that moment Manchester City played it into the slot our player would have been."

Yes if the **** wasn't trying to hold up our free kick he would have been in position.

Apart from that last sentence, I would pretty much disagree with all of that.

I think that's a bit of a lazy comparison tbh. Burnley have played pretty good football this season. What do you expect ? They were to going to open up and go all out agaisnt us.

He's done a great job, considering how little they spend.

Exactly. Managers can make such fools of themselves. Let it go.
 
Mixed feelings about Burnley as a team. They do occasionally play good stuff and have some decent ideas, but they still love anti-football and their fans seem to be absolute weapons. They got lucky with their goal.

Don’t think it’s lazy , he plays the percentage game , set pieces , corners , hoping for a mistake , he offers nothing new compared to Allardyce. Would be interesting to see him coach better quality players and handle big egos , maybe he could adapt but he is being built up in the press as a great coach , all he offers is organisation
